Probably. I'm sure the Scots have other words for Englishmen. I'm told that the flower called a Sweet William was named after Prince William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, who put down the Jacobite Rising of 1745 - 1746, which is why it's called a Stinking Billy by the Scots.Is there an equally non-family word given to the Irish by the English or are they too reserved, polite for that?Quick definitions (Southron)
